The Australian government has funded three inter-related projects under the umbrella title, Integrated Biological Systems:
* The Australian Phenomics Network (APN) - a network of research centres providing Australian and international researchers with mouse models for the study of human and animal disease. * The Australian Plant Phenomics Facility (APPF) - two nodes exploiting recent advances in robotics, imaging and computing to enable sensitive, high throughput analyses to be made of plant growth and function. * The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) - a network of institutions and agencies working to develop tools and services for managing information on Australian biodiversity and research organisms.
The ALA is providing some of the core information infrastructure to enable the APN and APPF to organise large quantities of data and images on their study organisms and to make these resources accessible to researchers in Australia and overseas.
Two positions are now advertised for bioinformaticians to work with the APN and the APPF to explore their data management requirements and to work with the ALA to develop appropriate services to support these communities.
The APN is seeking a bioinformatician to be based at Australian National University in Canberra. The closing date for applications is 24 September 2008. See the following materials:
